I hope I'm right. 1

WHERE YOU AT ??? now it's let's go IRAN!!!! Do you think this a a "GOTCH!!!!" moment or something? of course people will want a form of retaliation considering Israel wants to continue to peruse their terrorism and refrain from enacting any form of peace. 1

I'm tired of pretending like that barbaric religion deserves or worths any respect. there are literally sheikhs praying on the downfall of the US carrying the same rhetoric as os8ma bin l*den. the minute you guys realize not everything in the world is so perfect and not everyone carries your liberal view will be our first step to world peace. The United States definitely isn't perfect, no nation is. but at least there's democracy and I'd love to see your gay ass step into Iran lol. Being openly Islamophobic while on a dupe account is crazy. You wanted to be on the site so bad and here you are ******* it up, hope you get permabanned again
Komet Posted April 13 Posted April 13 So yeah, this was just posturing so they don't seem weak. Send some shitty drones to military targets that take forever to arrive, the same ones that Ukrainians are shooting down with slingshots, and then add some threats at the end. Standard 'lets do something without doing something' move, it's clear they don't want to escalate this as of now, and Israel would be VERY dumb to do it on their side. Anyway, back to their usual programming and stoning women.
Pikachoo Posted April 13 Posted April 13 what Israelis need to realize is Netanyahu promised peace and stability if elected, yet Israel has seen the largest terrorist attack against them and the largest war in the past 50 years! I hope Israelis realize that peace negotiations for a two state solution, while not successful in the past, has actually brought more peace than the Lukid's approach to dealing with Palestine.

But I'm glad you are now realizing the horror these USA funded terrorists are inflicting upon civilians. 5

State of Grace. Posted April 13 Posted April 13 This is not "WWIII" and Iran did not do this to free Gaza/Palestine. It was a retaliation for Israel's bombing of their embassy in Syria. Now if Israel attacks again or another country intervenes to defend it, they should only blame themselves Meanwhile Israel is still finding the time to launch attacks on Lebanon and Syria as we speak 3 1

Both Sides Now Posted April 13 Posted April 13 I'm relieved Iran is showing restraint. There is no point for Iran to go to all-out war with Israel. Israel is already self-destructing via the many proxy wars it has started - which Iran quietly funnels money to instead. Israel needs immediate demilitarisation alá post-WWII Germany. The recklessness by which it breaks international laws is scary and presents an existential threat to the world. It's a country run by maniacs. Also, there seems to be confusion in this thread. Israel has isolated itself almost completely in the last 6 months. Which "allies" (read: white countries) are ready to defend Israel besides the US? The dominant debate across Europe is banning military exports to Israel (56% of Brits support a ban versus 17% who oppose). Israel is a pariah state. 12

I also am reminded that Israel serves as nothing but a buffer state. Thank you. 9

Kassi Posted April 13 Posted April 13 So Iran wasn't trying to destroy Israel after all, but rather sending a J. Cole'd warning shot. Well, better this than the alternative.

Sorry for my ignorance Sis, this is the most loaded question someone can ask. You're basically asking for an explainer for the last 70 years of history in the region. Which is fair! You just likely won't get a meaningful explainer on ATRL of all places, let alone for how expansive this history is. Let alone the person you're quoting is postings things in bad faith. @GhostBox is a pro-Biden troll who likely can't find a country like Jordan on the map, the person they're posting is a random faceless Twitter account, and the reporter they're quoting is a Red State blogger (read: a American conservative news blog). Nations in the Middle East have their own geopolitics and issues with one another, but just in the same way this means many have issues with Iran, it's important to acknowledge just as many have the same issues with Israel. Even those who have diplomatic relations with Israel. Egypt was literally fighting with Israel over Israel trying to force 2M refugees into its borders. Jordan is a nation filled with Palestinian refugees whose own queen is Palestinian. Oil barons like the UAE or Oman are guided first, before anything else, by whatever protects their economic interests. It also goes without saying that Saudi Arabia - the largest exporter of Islamic extremism into the greater region - is not exactly on good relations with many other nations in the region. And that, in the inverse, nations like Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq side with Iran over Israel+Saudi Arabia+US, whether for their own geopolitics with others in the region or past history with the US + Israel. Just speaking with Lebanese nationals within the West reveals generational resentment to the Israeli state. Israel still occupies parts of Syria & Lebanon. In current events, America was literally aiding Saudi Arabia in drone strikes that killed 100k Yemenis just this decade. Rhetoric that tries to paint either Palestinians (as is the original goal of this rhetoric) or Iran as somehow seemingly an isolated nation with no allies is silly American patriotism. Let alone that there is - as mentioned above - decades of intertwined history that would require an expert (I'm the first to say I'm certainly not one, for example) to break down in a meaningful, long-format way. Just that anyone trying to sell you some idea that Iran is an isolated pariah and *re-reads tweets* Saudi Arabia (???) is some beloved figurehead within the Middle East is... also trying to sell you a bridge to nowhere.

BorderBoy Posted April 13 Posted April 13 As always, Israel starts **** and then wants the entire world to stand with them because somehow 'they are the victims.' Israel is the one who started it when they bombed the Iranian embassy in Damascus. What did they expect in return? Now Israel wants to respond to Iran's drone attack and uh well the world is facing another world. Watch Israel milking this as the world focuses on them vs Iran, to continue bombing what's left of Gaza and invade Rafah. 1

Now if Israel attacks again or another country intervenes to defend it, they should only blame themselves Meanwhile Israel is still finding the time to launch attacks on Lebanon and Syria as we speak It was not an embassy in Syria, it was a terrorist headquarters. The attack on Lebanon and Syria is against missile launchers that launched missiles into Israel's territory at the same time as Iran. F words in here who support Iran and its terrorist militia groups should check themselves, some of you have no idea which side you are on Israel should agree to a ceasefire and end it, Iran can lead us to WW3
